To blob or not to blob… good question!
I guess if you develop data intensive applications dealing with large files at some point, you’ve thought about it at least once: should I put my data files inside the database or should I write them directly to disk?
Ok, so here’s my point:
storing files in Firebird is faster than writing the same files on the filesystem!
